    David de Gea is a good keeper when Fred isn't standing on his foot and pulls off a good diving save to deny Gabriel's flicked header.

    Hugo Lloris is forced to come out of his box to make a clearance.

    To be honest, the Spurs keeper has not had an awful lot to do.

    This has been fairly comfortable for the hosts.

    Into stoppage time.

  7. 'Extraordinary'published at 21:17 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2021

    Man Utd 1-1 Arsenal

    Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg on Prime Video: "I’ve never seen anything quite as extraordinary as this. Martin Atkinson was powerless. His feeling would have been that there was a foul but you can’t blow your whistle until the ball goes in the goal.

    "There would have been more controversy if he blew the whistle first. If Sancho had won the ball [and cleared], I’m sure he’d have stopped play then. He didn’t see DDG down. Martin Atkinson isn’t looking at the keeper, it’s only when Emile Smith Rowe is striking the ball he looks and thinks why is De Gea down. Then he will have thought there was a foul."

    Standing ovation for Son Heung-min who makes way for Steven Bergwijn. Son gets a hug from Antonio Conte on his way to his seat on the bench. Two shots on target and one goal for Tottenham's No 7.

  9. 'That happens in every game'published at 21:15 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2021

    Man Utd 1-1 Arsenal

    Former England striker Alan Shearer, speaking on Prime Video: "My immediate thought was goal. I didn’t hear the referee blow and I didn’t see a foul on the keeper. I think that happens in every game. The keeper goes down without a care to where the ball is and I don’t think he should be going down like that.

    "If it had been a serious injury then there’s an argument that maybe Arsenal should have let Man Utd score but a minute later he’s walking around and not limping."

    Arsenal legend Thierry Henry: "I didn’t hear the whistle before. The only rule I know is you play until the whistle so it is a goal. It’s a valid goal."

    Tottenham 2-0 Brentford

    Ivan Toney tries to find Yoane Wissa for a tap-in but Hugo Lloris does really well to stretch out a leg and deny Brentford what would have been a certain goal. Four minutes of normal time left.

    Ivan Toney wins a header and it falls nicely for Yoane Wissa but the substitute cannot control it and Spurs are off on another attack.

    Son Heung-min is forced out wide and now Brentford are piling forward.

    The game has really opened up in the closing stages.

    Ralf Rangnick was a popular man as he headed to get his half-time drink.

    The 63-year-old posed for selfies and signed autographs for fans as he left.

    David de Gea and Martin Atkinson are having a chat as they go off the pitch. As an ex-goalkeeper I can understand his frustrations. It has been gripping, exciting game and both teams have the belief that they can win this. They also have the fragility that can lose it.
